A POWERFUL TRUE STORY OF LOVE, LOSS, AND THE COURAGE TO LET GO

In this raw and deeply moving memoir, Lenora Scurry takes readers on an unforgettable journey through intergenerational trauma, unthinkable abuse, and the ultimate test of a mother's love - learning to let go of her only daughter.

From surviving a near-fatal electrocution at age six to enduring cycles of domestic violence and sexual assault, Lenora's early life was marked by profound trauma. Yet her greatest challenge would come as a mother, watching helplessly as her beloved daughter Kerry follows a similarly troubled path, despite Lenora's desperate attempts to break the cycle.

When Lenora's own child becomes caught in the crossfire of addiction, abuse and instability, Lenora faces an impossible choice: continue enabling destructive patterns or step back and allow her daughter to find her own way. Through tears, legal battles, and even a wrongful arrest, she fights to protect her grandchildren while grappling with the devastating reality that sometimes the most loving choice a mother can make is to let go.

Written with unflinching honesty and profound compassion, this gripping memoir explores the complexities of mother-daughter relationships, the ripple effects of childhood trauma, and the courage it takes to break generational cycles of pain. Lenora's story is a powerful testament to resilience, redemption, and the enduring nature of a mother's love - even when that love must be expressed from a distance.

Both heartbreaking and hopeful, "Letting Go" speaks to anyone who has had to make the difficult choice between holding on and letting go of someone they love. It reminds us that while we cannot control others' choices, we can choose to love ourselves enough to set healthy boundaries and find peace amidst life's greatest storms.
